Can we make a list of places with adult or lap pools? - Timeshare Users Group Online Community Forums

Liz Wolf-Spada · July 23, 2008, 01:41 PM

I was very frustrated by the pool situation at Fairmont Mountainside, there were always tons of kids and it wasn't a very swimmable pool. Even the pool you paid to use at the Lodge, only had one lap for swimming. Swimming is important to me, as it's my favorite exercise, keeps me feeling well and I don't live near public or gym pools, which are a minimum of 25 miles away.
I know Grand Pacific Palisades has a great adult pool, Carlsbad Seapointe has an adult pool, Welk in Escondido has a lap pool. What other places if I want to swim? (I don't care about Hawaii because then I just swim in the ocean, but others might.)

Good idea, Liz!

Since this is not really an exchanging question, I'm going to move it to the general travel board.

There are lap pools at Grande Vista and Grande Ocean.

Could we add where those places are, please. The two I mentioned are in Carlsbad and Escondido, California.
thanks,
Liz

Part of one pool at Desert Springs Villas has several lap lanes and it seem as though people are pretty respectful of swimmers when using those lanes. It is not a dedicated lap swim pool but does have a certain area.

There is also a quieter pool behind the clubhouse that often has few if any children. There is also at least one dedicated quiet pool on the property. No swim toys aloud or loud voices.

On Kauai - the Lawai Beach Resort has an adult pool in front of the Ali'i Bldg. that gets very little use.

The Club Intrawest in Palm Desert has two adult pools, one of which is a lap pool. When I was there last during a March sping break week, the adult-pool policy was pretty well observed. Each cluster of buildings has either a family-pool area or an adult-only pool area - I'd have to dig my map out to see which building numbers are around the lap pool, but in any case the building clusters are all pretty close together so it's not a long walk to the pool of your choice.

Grande Vista is located in Orlando, FL and Grande Ocean is located on Hilton Head Island, SC. Both are Marriott's resorts.

Adult lap pool and hot tub at Villas At Southgate in St. George Utah. Besides having nice family pool and hot tub.

There is a lap pool in phase one of the Royal Sands in Cancun. However, at times it is set up for water volleyball.

Royal Haciendas (Playa del Carmen) has "semi-olympic" lap pools and separate children's pools in addition to large main pools and hot tubs.
